'The Bold and the Beautiful' to shoot in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

“The Bold and the Beautiful” will make history when the internationally popular soap heads for Dubai and Abu Dhabi next month to shoot episodes that will air in late May or early June. The storyline will have Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill (Don Diamont) traveling out of the country with Brooke’s ex Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) following them there according to TV Guide.

Lang will compete in a triathlon in Abu Dhabi during filming which gave executive producer the idea for the location shoot. “Kelly asked me for time off to take part in the event and I said, ‘Well, how about we all come with you?’, said Bell. “…So we’re going to back up the station wagon and all pile in!”

The show, which is known for it’s exotic locations, is very popular on the Dubai One Network.

“This is a great opportunity for us,” Bell said. “B&B  is really popular on the Dubai One network and that’s opened up a lot of doors. We don’t quite know what to expect but that’s always the most fun part of this job – going off and trying things we’ve never done before. It’s very exciting.”

Catch “The Bold and the Beautiful” airs weekdays on CBS.
